UWA Faculty Funding Model Information

The University's Faculty Funding Model uses weighted student loads to distribute teaching funds to faculties. A combination of course type weights and discipline weights is applied to student load totals at the census dates of 31 March and 31 August. Since 2003, a projection of this student load has been used to determine the following year's budget.

For a thorough overview of the budget process, the Finance Manual produced by Financial Services is recommended.
